The role of the nurse in meeting the educational needs for self-care in cachectic cancer patients and their family caregivers: A scoping review.
Article in Asia-Pacific journal of oncology nursing, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Objective: To give an overview of what is known about the nurse contribution to education in self-care by people with cancer cachexia and their family caregivers. Nurse-led patient education can help patients and their family caregivers to manage cancer symptoms, cancer treatments, and treatment side effects. Methods: This scoping review explored the extent to which nurse-led education has become part of the multimodal management of cancer cachexia. It is based on a systematic search of Medline, Embase, CINAHL, APA PsycINFO, and the Cochrane Library. Search limits were English language, date ranges from January 2015 to March 2023, and adults 18 years and older. Results: A total of 6370 titles were screened, 127 papers and conference abstracts were selected for full-text examination, and 9 publications were included in the review. The analysis found the nurses within the multidisciplinary cancer cachexia care team, like other healthcare professionals, do not have a shared understanding of cancer cachexia and its management. For nurses to be confident and competent in the provision of nurse-led cachexia education, they themselves need evidence-based education in cachexia care and how to tailor education according to cachexia stage, symptoms, emotional response, and social circumstance. Conclusions: Nurses with the knowledge and confidence to provide cancer cachexia education for their patients can potentially play an important role in the management of cancer cachexia and mitigation of cachexia-related problems.
